Changeable keys and SSD-SATA for the MBA?

macrumors regular

I´ve tried searching all over for this, but can anyone confirm whether the MBA keys will be changeable, like on the MB? I plan on buying one in the States, because of the weak dollar (no offense), and then change the keys back in my own country.

I´ve also been trying to find out if the SSD-MBA is SATA or PATA. Because it seems like PATA-SSD will be discontinued, at least that´s the impression I get from reading up on the future of SSD and single layer drives.

Seems like somebody confirmed in another thread that the SSD is PATA. this means that it sucks if they discontinue PATA-SSD´s. Looks like there will be no upgrading to 128GB SSD then. I mean it certainly is a possibility, but I wouldn´t bet my life on it.

But, what about the keys, are they changeable? Can anyone lucky enough to own one of these babies try to see if the keys are similar to the MB? It´s probably only logical that they are changeable, right?

They are expecting them to be ready for mid 2008. In time for an update, and cheaper prices on lower SSD models.
